Planning a Switched Network

shows redundant connections from two switches within the same
switch community to two different Ethernet segments. This configuration
provides switch-level and port-level redundancy between the devices connected
to two different Ethernet segments.
Figure 2-8.
Redundant connections of two switches in a community to two
Ethernet segments
, two Model 58000 switches are connected by a trunk link to form
one switch community. The trunk link enables the switches to share community
management information and network traffic. Ports 1 and 2 on switches A and B
are configured to operate in feeder mode and are part of the same virtual LAN.
Port 1 on both switches is connected to an Ethernet segment in one hub, and
port 2 on both switches is connected to an Ethernet segment in another hub.
Because switch A has the lower MAC address, ports 1 and 2 of switch A are
designated active feeder ports, while ports 1 and 2 of switch B are designated
standby feeder ports (switch B has a higher MAC address).
